Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey made just two catches in a Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Chargers second-round pick scored a touchdown in Week 1 but was slightly less involved in Week 2, drawing four targets to make his two catches for 26 yards. The Chargers only attempted 20 passes, completing 14, which didn't leave much for the team's pass catchers to work. This will be a run-first offense, but McConkey's role as slot receiver will certainly provide him with some solid weeks of fantasy production. Next week against the Steelers could be a stronger performance.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was a bright spot in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Washington Commanders, hauling in 10 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown on a massive 18 targets. Nabers showcased his big-play ability, averaging 12.7 yards per catch and notching a cath-and-run 28-yard reception. Nabers did have a crucial drop at the end of the game, but that rookie errors can be expected as he adjusts to the NFL. Despite the Giants' struggles, fantasy managers can take solace in his hefty target share and reliable production, proving he's more than just a deep threat. With his combination of volume and playmaking ability, Nabers is a legit WR1 with huge upside.

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (chest) exited Sunday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was transported to the hospital for further evaluation. However, head coach Dennis Allen implied it was likely for precautionary reasons. The 34-year-old had 18 yards off three carries in Week 2. While Hill isn't always featured in fantasy lineups, there is usually a point in every season where he gains streaming attention. Fantasy managers will likely see him referenced on the injury report heading into the Week 3 showdown with the Eagles. There will also likely be an update on his condition soon.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert scored all of his team's points on Sunday afternoon as he went 7-for-7 on his field goal attempts. His longest was from 45 yards. This was a big improvement for the Washington offense, as Cam York missed both attempts last week. Earlier in the preseason, the Commanders had Riley Patterson on their roster, but he was eventually cut, given his troubles over the summer. Seibert has spent his NFL career bouncing from multiple teams but may have found his home in the DMV after his stellar debut. Seibert holds a mere 80.4% success rate throughout his career, but this could be just the scenery change he needed. Given the Commanders' inability to finish drives in the red zone, Seibert could become a potential streaming option as the season progresses but could have inconsistent performances, as the Washington offense is still a work in progress.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 22 of his 34 passes for 186 yards while adding five carries for 20 yards and a touchdown in an 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Watson and the Browns offense came out hot in the first half, scoring 16 points with the quarterback punctuating an 89-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Watson looked much more comfortable than in Week 1, although he only has one touchdown pass with two interceptions through two games. He will look for more in Week 3 when the Browns face the New York Giants at home.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly made three catches in a Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. Dissly was targeted three times, making all three catches for 29 yards. He ended up second on the team in both catches and receiving yards. The Chargers didn't throw much, completing just 14 passes on 20 drop backs, but Dissly should retain a similar role in the offense going forward. He'll be a floor-play TE2/3 without much upside but could come down with an occasional touchdown here and there.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler was quiet as a rusher Sunday afternoon but made his impact through the air. Ekeler caught all three of his targets for 47 yards. On the ground, he saw just eight attempts for 38 yards. The veteran running back was primarily deployed as a pass catcher in the season opener, and Week 2 was quite similar. Last week, he registered 52 receiving yards (which led the team) on four receptions. While Brian Robinson Jr. will continue to see the lion's share of rushing attempts, Ekeler will still hold fantasy value, especially in PPR formats as he is becoming a safety valve for rookie QB Jayden Daniels. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ekeler as an upside flex in PPR leagues, but in standard leagues where receptions are not scored, it is better to find production elsewhere.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) already has plans to play in Week 3 against the Houston Texans. "I'm not seriously injured," said Jefferson after the game. "So, it's just all about getting to the training room, making sure my body is right for next week, and I'll be ready to go next Sunday." The wideout suffered a quad contusion during Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers. However, he still finished with 133 yards and a touchdown off four catches. Fantasy managers should expect to see Jefferson referenced on the injury report heading into Week 3. But it sounds like the Vikings will have their superstar as Minnesota looks to remain undefeated after the matchup with Houston.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was lightly involved in the Packers' 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Reed caught both of his targets on the day for nine yards while adding another 37 yards rushing on two carries. Dealing with a calf injury that had Reed miss some practice time in the lead-up to Week 2, Reed looked great, lessening some of the concern moving forward. While Reed was utilized creatively in the early going, he didn't do enough in terms of production to make a dent in fantasy teams on Sunday. With only 14 pass attempts and 19 dropbacks total for starting quarterback Malik Willis, there just wasn't too much to go around for the Packers' pass-catching group. The Packers will travel to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, and for fantasy, Reed should be considered a low-end WR3 or FLEX play for Green Bay.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin continued his slow start to the 2024 campaign as he recorded a mere 22 yards in their Week 2 victory over the New York Giants. However, McLaurin saw a team-high eight targets and caught six of them. Jayden Daniels continued to show signs of growth as a passer as he looked downfield more often this week but could not find McLaurin on those plays. Instead, receivers Noah Brown and even tight end Zach Ertz connected on deeper passes. While McLaurin's start to the season has been frustrating, fantasy managers should continue to view him as a WR3 with upside, given his track record of success in the league. As Daniels progresses as a passer, McLaurin's fantasy output will rise. McLaurin should remain in your lineup as he will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was quiet in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. He finished with two receptions for 15 yards on only two targets. The distribution of targets in the Seahawks' receiving core has been inconsistent through two weeks. In Week 1 Lockett was the top receiver while DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba were the odd-men out. It may take another week or two to determine how the Seahawks will consistently distribute their targets. However, the dominance of Smith-Njigba and Metcalf in Week 2 may have earned them more targets moving forward.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the team in receiving with 62 yards on four catches in their Week 2 victory over the New York Giants. This was an excellent bounce-back effort for the veteran tight end, as he caught only three passes for 28 yards in his Washington debut. Ertz was not used as a check-down option but instead was used in a vertical capacity, as he averaged 15.5 yards per catch with a high of 21 yards. This was a promising effort for the veteran as he continues to emerge as the No.2 pass-catching option in the Commanders air attack. The 33-year-old could be worth a look as a stash option going forward, given his role on the offense and safe floor he could produce weekly.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf absolutely torched the New England Patriots in Week 2. Metcalf finished with 10 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown. Metcalf opened his day by slipping by the defense for a 56-yard touchdown on a nifty play design. From there, the Patriots had no answer as quarterback Geno Smith continued to go to Metcalf repeatedly. Metcalf has a chance to carry that momentum into a Week 3 tilt against the Miami Dolphins.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards led the Chargers backfield in carries in a Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. Edwards carried the ball 18 times, gaining 59 yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Edwards' 18 carries led the backfield but his 59 yards were far less than the 131 put up by J.K. Dobbins. Edwards will continue to have a grinding and goal line role on this offense, but Dobbins has clearly lifted himself above Edwards in the pecking order. He will be a touchdown dependent fantasy option with mostly unpredictable boom and bust weeks going forward.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary delivered a solid fantasy performance in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Washington Commanders, racking up 95 yards on 16 carries and finding the end zone on a seven-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. While he wasn't involved in the passing game, with only one catch for zero yards, Singletary's rushing efficiency (5.9 YPC) helped keep the Giants in the game. His ability to churn out tough yards in critical situations made him a reliable RB2 for fantasy managers. With a consistent workload and goal-line usage, Singletary's stock is rising heading into Week 3, but managers must be cautious against a tough Browns defense.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels went 23-for-29 with 226 passing yards in his first regular-season victory against the New York Giants. On the ground, he added 44 yards on ten carries. This was a significant improvement for the number-two overall pick, as he threw for just 184 yards on 17 completions in his debut last week. Throughout the afternoon, the LSU product was able to lead Washington downfield but could not capitalize on any red zone opportunities as the Commanders only came away with field goals - six of them. His longest pass of the day was a 34-yarder to Noah Brown on the eventual game-winning drive. Fantasy managers should continue to feel comfortable staring Daniels in all formats, given his elite rushing ability, even as he continues to develop as a passer. He should be viewed as a low-end QB1 next week as he faces the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith played a nearly flawless game in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. Smith threw for 327 yards and a touchdown. He had a 75% completion percentage. Smith is falling back into the hyper-accurate form that he displayed in the 2022 season. His completion percentage does not account for the several drops by Seahawks pass catchers. Smith seems to be comfortable operating new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb's offense. His play is supporting the fantasy value of other Seahawks players as well. Look for Smith to continue his solid start in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. led the way on the ground in their Week 2 victory as he tallied a career-high 133 rushing yards on 17 attempts. He added three yards through the air on his lone target. This was another impressive outing for the young running back, as he posted 89 total yards in the season opener. Robinson's longest run of the day covered 40 yards. Even though the Commanders offense struggled in the red zone, it is a promising sign to see Robinson continue to develop and emerge as a legit starting running back. Robinson saw nine more carries than Austin Ekeler this week. Fantasy managers should expect Robinson to continue to see a solid workload going forward, even if he is not utilized in the passing game. The Alabama product enters Week 3 as a high-floor RB2.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston scored two touchdowns in a Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. Johnston led the team in targets, catches, yards, and scores in the easy win. He was targeted six times, making five catches for 51 yards and the two touchdowns. His first score came from 29 yards out in the first quarter and he followed it up with another touchdown in the second quarter from five yards out. The Chargers only attempted 20 passes compared to 44 rush attempts, and that looks like the pattern they'll follow most of the time going forward. Johnston could finally be working his way into fantasy relevance, but the Chargers pass catchers will be hard to project each week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (undisclosed) is not believed to have a serious injury. St. Brown was injured in the fourth quarter of the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The injury visibly hampered St. Brown at the end of the game and eventually forced him off the field. St. Brown had a monster day prior to the injury. He recorded 11 receptions for 119 yards. If St. Brown is forced to miss any time, then wide receiver Jameson Williams, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and tight end Sam LaPorta would all see increased target shares. For now, fantasy managers can only wait for news on initial testing and practice participation as we head into Week 3.
